Alamy will shortly be launching a free service to put picture buyers in touch with photographers.

The first stage has begun and over the coming week we will be emailing all our photographers with more than 100 images and more than 10 sales inviting them to sign up.

We have selected this as our initial qualifying criteria but this may change in the future.

Customers will be able to search by location and see contact details and portfolio images from photographers in the area. Photographers will be able to update their location and availability at any time. This will be useful for customers who need a picture taken at short notice.

If you are a photographer already represented by an agent, you can enter your agent's contact details if you wish.

'Find a Photographer' will launch as a free service. It will be up to the photographer and the customer to define the task, agree a price, transmit images, arrange invoicing and payment and to resolve any problems between themselves.

To qualify for this service, photographers must meet all of the following criteria:

  1. Be experienced in conducting assignments and/or commissions
  2. Have at least 100 images and 10 sales on Alamy
  3. Have a website that showcases your work

Please note that we cannot accept requests to be included in the scheme unless you meet the criteria.
